192 phone-boxes in the Kcom Hull area have been located.

17 of the boxes have a listed status.

Note privately located boxes at peoples houses are not shown to protect privacy, private boxes at public locations (e.g. railways, zoo’s etc are shown)

KCOM Group (formerly known as Kingston Communications and latterly KC) is a UK communications and IT services provider. Its headquarters are in the city of Kingston upon Hull. Within the zone run by KCOM, Hull decided not to adopt the red livery as seen on BT phone boxes. The phone boxes are all cream.

Not only is the colour different but the you will notice there are no crowns adorning Hull’s kiosks. It was either ground off, in which case there was a rough grinding oval, or they had no mark or Crown at all. This is because the Post Office Telecommunications Service then was part of a National (Crown) Service. It is of course now privatised, but of course Hull Corporation Telephones, as it was called, was not national and not therefore Crown property.

if you know of other boxes on the Kcom zone, then please let me know where they are, so I can add them to my schedule for a visit.

Either use the contact me page or directly at paul.bottomley@thek6project.co.uk

The map below shows the location of these boxes

If a location is marked with a telephone box then I have visited this box. The box design and colour will represent the colour and model of the box in reality.
